Beneath the glitz and glamour of fame, Paula Badosa is a tender person who never shies away from unveiling her life’s raw truth. This Spaniard is in a relationship with ATP star Stefanos Tsitsipas. However, their love faced a brief momentary pause in May this year. As Badosa speaks about it, her words, no matter how laced with sophisticated expressions, could represent the fleeting pressure that even talented players like them can’t avoid. She lays bare her emotional journey, showing why she is much more than an established player who deserves many rounds of applause for her spirit.
In a conversation with Tennis Channel, Badosa spoke about her personal and professional comeback after her short time split with her beau, Stefanos Tsitsipas. “Sometimes you need a break to realize things and manage them better,” says the Spaniard, remembering her ups and downs moment in this season. “That’s what we did: we had a very long talk on how we were going to deal with things going forward. Since then, it’s been great for both of us. We’re very happy with how we’re handling our relationship on and off court,” Badosa concluded.
The adorable tennis couple called it quits in May before participating in the French Open. However, they couldn’t move forward with their separation and eventually rekindled their love. Echoing Badosa’s words, Tsitsipas also blamed his work pressure for fuelling his breakup with Badosa. However, the Greek ATP star said, “It was hard for us being apart and I was going through some hard times too.”

Amidst her success, this WTA star didn’t forget to extend her support for her talented boyfriend, Tsitsipas. “I just want him to fly but if he falls, he knows I’m going to be there for him,” Badosa said in a heartwarming confession.
